Buffalo Bills Orange Blossom Cream Ale

Brewed by Buffalo Bills Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Hayward, California USA

My girlfriend at the time wouldn’t let me anywhere near her after I’d drank one of these because of how bad it smells and tastes. That’s all I have to say about this one.

Pours brilliant clear gold with two inch white head of foam. The aroma is floral and orange with a light sting of acidity and faint sweetness in the background. The sweet honey really hits hard to start off the flavor followed by solid flower pedals and orange bringing up the rear. The floral honey infused orange is pretty bold and overall too sweet for my taste.

Smells like the old time Orange Crush. Lousy label, medium orange-gold beer with virtually no head. Orange flavored, that’s it - moderately sweet, next to no hopping. Medium light body. Not cloying, but strictly one dimensional.

Easy to drink and easy on the pallet with food. I would drink this beer in warm weather for sure. The orange flavor is quite subtle. It could certainly taste more like a beer and not a fruit drink. But if light and airy is what you are looking for then give it a spin.

Single from Three Cellars. This one to me was more like Orange slezer water with a beer chaser. VERY carbonated.

Crushed with Jakebra. Pleasant aroma, smells like a combination of Sunny Delight and orange Gatorade powder. Some orange in the flavor and some nothing otherwise in the flavor. Better fruit beer than I’ve experienced in the past, but still not that good.

Pale gold body with a small fizzy head that disappears quickly. Fairly sweet aroma of oranges. Other than a lot of carbonation, the mouthfeel is light. The flavor is not bad. Pretty sweet, and even tastes like orange soda for a moment. There is just a touch of hoppy bitterness at the end to remind you that it’s a beer. A decent beer, especially for hot summer days.

Bottle from riversideAK. Thanks Alex! Pours a clear, golden straw color with no head and some fizzy bubbles that all but fade into oblivion instantly. Nose is sweet orange and not much else. Flavor is not quite as sweet as the nose predicts but its still pretty sweet orange flavored with a bit of honey and a grainy finish. I would much prefer a fanta or sunkist orange soda to this. This is pretty terrible beer.
